Twitter new stuff
August 31st, 2007Posted by Oliver Luft in Online Journalism
Been a big week for Twitter – they have announced THREE new additions which will start to have a presence on the site:
- Search – so you can find you friends.
- Gmail app – importing Gmail contacts
- Explore – to list some of the tools people can use to interact with Twitter off the site
(Thanks to TechCrunch for the skinny on these additions)
Perhaps another thing to mention is that ReporTwitters.com has now gone live. We wrote about it earlier in the week: it’s a site so that fanatical reporters who just can’t live without the thing can post news reports and their twitter posts in the same place.
A ‘more-realistic’ rounded view of the news, is the half-cocked reasoning. Still, might be an addition to the explore feature before too long.
